Howdy: First off, I just wanted to thanks Wayne for all your help, listening, and clarification of these archery rules for us. Secondly, I didn't want to paint the impression that any of the Phoenix members were power gamers, by any stretch of the term. We're all about group dynamics, problem solvin...

RE: Steve's "Crossbows, however I think fit into a different niche. There is no doubt that someone trained would need to load a crossbow". I don’t even agree that a person needs to be trained to load a crossbow. If we're letting commoners use ranged weapons (which I fully agree we should),...

RE: "Biggest use I'd see for multiple crossbows, is have one person firing and the other loading". Maybe, but if a character is loading a crossbow, he is going to be an archer. So with a crossbow, you've got 1 archer firing, and the other loading, wheras in a standard bow situation you cou...

I think to some degree the "With a bow it is much harder to carry around drawn back for twenty minutes" statement is true, Trevor -- but only because a bow is much more cumbersome than a small xbow. You dont need to have the bow at full draw all the time to get an arrow off effectively and...

Sweet, I was unaware (as were the rest of the newbies) that there was a +1 to heavy crossbows. It seems like there was some confusion about the damage that bows/x-bows really did. We read that they did 3v (light) at one point, then found out at the larp that they only did 1V. As far as accuracy, I t...

Hey, This isn't a very big deal, but let me know what you think. I mentioned this to a couple of people at the November FH gathering, and wanted to throw it out there to all the GMs for consideration. Most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix carried crossbows with them to this event. In gener...

Almost forgot!

I never had the opportunity to thank the person who fronted the cover for us newbies. Whoever it was, it was very very appreciated by the phoenix players. If you want to hang with us at dinner next event, its on me.

Hey all, Thanx for all the replys, they've been most helpful. I am in complete agreement with Dallid, Tonia, please don't ease up on me or any of the other newbies -- nor play your character any differently. This was completely my mistake, but it's over and it sounds like everything is cool. Later, ...

Allow me to open by apologizing for the misunderstanding that ensued with regard to one of my phys-reps. It was not my intention to create any turbulence during this larp event. Little bit of background about myself: This is the first larp I have ever attended. Upon arrival Friday night, I knew litt...
